No.2 Tiffyhall is close to great views, the beach, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the neighbourhood, the light, the comfy bed, the cosiness, and the kitchen. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids).

No.2 Tiffyhall was previously a small barn on our small croft , which is one of the oldest in the parish and was part of a working farm once owned by the Earl of Zetland. The whole site fell into disrepair and stood empty for 50 years until it was fully renovated and extended in 2008 and has been transformed into a comfortable holiday cottage.
Guests have access to the whole cottage and its small garden access through the wooden gate by the parking area. Entry is from 3 pm and vacated by 10 am.
Guests can also walk around the 8 acres that form part of the Croft/Smallholding where they can enjoy watching the local wildlife on the 2 flight ponds that were created in October 2015 and the small plantation of trees planted early 2016
We live on the site therefore if you need any advice or would just like a chat then come and find us

Whether you are looking for a romantic retreat, a rambler’s delight or a family holiday home, No.2 Tiffyhall which forms part of a small croft which has views overlooking Newark Bay and the Pentland Firth to the south, is the perfect place for you to enjoy Orkney and its Isles.
There is a bus service in Deerness however not as frequent as visitors would like so visitors own transport would be beneficial unless you prefer to stay in the parish and enjoyed the local sites and walks
A car is recommended as we are 12 miles from the main town of Orkney (Kirkwall) as the Cottage is in a rural parish

Karen made us feel very welcome! Tiffyhall was a wonderful place to stay - the accommodation exceeded all expectations. Everything was beautifully presented and if anything the photos did not do it justice. It was a beautiful quiet rural location. We cannot speak highly enough of the accommodation or Karen's hospitality and highly recommend the venue. If we ever come back toOrkney we would certainly stay again.

MarkOctober 2016

Tina and Paul gave us a great welcome and left us some fresh eggs, butter, cheese , bread an milk which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is just as they describe it and is very well appointed and equipped with spacious living room, bedrooms and a lovely bathroom. The surrounding area is also very interesting for exploring and walking directly from the cottage where they have created a woodland and flight pond to encourage local birds and wildlife. Overall, an excellent location, with genuinely friendly and generous hosts. We fully recommend staying here.

GerardSeptember 2016

Thanks Tina & Paul for this amazing stay on Orkney; we felt very welcomed! The house is located in a very scenic area, and it was perfect to explore the island. It is very quiet, and there are even cows as neighbours! It is furnished with everything you can possibly need, including lots of information on what to do on the island, which was very useful (and even a Wii).

We had a fantastic stay at Glenduron. We arrived late at night but Teresa made sure the house was easily accessed even though we were much later than anticipated. They provided invaluable local information. The house is beautiful and well prepared for guests! It is also very central for seeing all of the mainland Orkney. We will be booking the house again!!!

PamelaAugust 2016

Great home and amenities. We were super comfortable there. Location is perfect. From Holm you are mid way between all the awesome sites in South Ronaldsay and the Stromness area. Teresa is fabulous.

HeatherAugust 2016

Teresa offers you an entire, big house. Clean and well equipped! Perfect to expolore the Orkneys.

ClaudioJuly 2016

Host was lovely and greeted on arrival. Cottage is lovely, fresh and welcoming. Happy with the accommodation, location and everything about it. Thank you

StephenJuly 2016

The cottage is equipped to a very high standard. It has fantastic views across the bay. It is in a peaceful area for a nice relaxing holiday. It is a very convenient location for Kirkwall either by car or public transport and for exploring the rest of the island. Teresa is very welcoming.

CliveSeptember 2016

Great location and home. The place was cost, clean, and comfortable. Teresa was welcoming and gracious.

JohnJuly 2016

Recently refurbished, everything brand new and very nice looking. Lots of space, nothing important missing (except for wifi, at the time of writing). Amazing view of the waterfront from the windows. As this was not enough, we found toys and kids DVDs for our little girls. Great location to do sightseeing in the main island. We didn't meet Teresa but she was in touch during the whole stay. We were not expecting the cottage to be so beautiful.

SilviaAugust 2016

My parents stayed in Holm and loved every minute of it from start to finish. Teresa couldn't have been more helpful. The bungalow had everything they could have wanted and it was spotlessly clean. Could not fault this accommodation at all. It's really conveniently situated only a 15 minute drive to Kirkwall and 25 minutes away from St. Margaret's Hope port. The views from the front window onto the harbour are just breath taking.

Straigona is a purpose built B&B with stunning views over Inganess Bay. Semi-rural location, just 5 miles from Kirkwall. 2016 is our 6th season and we have welcomed guests from all over the world, several are on 3rd or 4th visits to us.

Beautiful views over Inganess Bay and Kirkwall Airport - the airport closes at night and is too small for jets, just a few prop planes a day! Ideally situated for touring mainland Orkney and taking a plane or ferry over to one of the smaller islands.
Guests have everything we can think of in their en-suite room. There is a dining room for breakfast and also for anyone to use at any time. Free wi-fi in all areas. Plenty of free parking and a large garden to sit in.
We spend as much time with guests as they want. We are always on hand for information and advise as to where to visit, eat, etc and just for a chat!

Our house makes up a small hamlet with walks on our doorstep and good opportunities to see wildlife and birds from our garden or have a wander down to the beach.
We have free parking at the front of the house. While there is a regular bus service from the airport (10 minute walk) into Kirkwall we really feel you need a car, motorbike or pushbike to get the most out of your visit. Hire cars can be collected from the airport, there are always taxis available and we quite often pick up guests from the airport.
All of our rooms are en-suite and have easy chairs.
Please note only one of our three rooms are listed here, if you need more than one room please contact us.
We have a minimum stay policy of 2 nights.

Julie & Mike waited for us and welcomed us when we arrive after 10.30 pm. Their place had a personal touch. Our room was cosy with all the facilities including folders with information of places of interests and various cafe & restaurants with their menus. Julie provided with ordinance survey map of Orkney Islands. Julie had a spread of her home baked biscuits/cookies and cakes.

MohanSeptember 2015

Julie is really a great host. Our room was very nice and had everything we could ask for. The Breakfast was also very good and plenty of it. Julie is a very nice and helpful person. We would definitely stay there again on a trip to Orkney.

SusanneJune 2015

Julie made us feel very welcome. Her home was an ideal base for our tour of Orkney. Julie was a great tour advisor, she knew so much about the unique bird life and fascinating archeological on offer. The bnb was just as described warm, friendly, breakfast was delicious and we were made feel very welcome. We would recommend Straigona to anyone visiting Orkney.

LynApril 2016

Julie could not have made us feel more welcome. She and Mike have clearly gone all out to make their guests feel comfortable and lack for nothing and everything you could possibly want was in the bathroom and bedroom. Breakfast was wonderful with home made jams and home made cakes were on offer 24/7, also delicious. Julie was a mine of information about walks, where to go, where to eat etc. She really does go the extra mile. Very highly recommended.

Bert was an excellent host and the accommodation was exactly as described. Bert was waiting to meet us outside as we arrived from the evening ferry and gave us a lovely welcome.

Quietly situated Georgian house with single, double & triple en suite rooms. Large shared kitchen, laundry facilities and off road parking. Close to town centre, bus and ferry connections as well as Orkney College. Free Wi-Fi, bedding and towels.

If you don't mind a laid back atmosphere, this is a really good place to stay in Orkney. It's about five minutes walk (uphill!) from the centre of Kirkwall, my room was fine (if basic) and it's astonishingly good value for money. Best of all Malcom is a great host, extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, who even went out of his way to show me parts of the Island I'd never have thought of visiting. I don't know how he keeps track of so many people passing through every week, but he remains tirelessly patient helpful and enthusiastic. Definitely recommended.

kevinAugust 2016

Malcolm was a very welcoming host. My stay in Kirkwall was made so much better by staying in such a comfortable and conveniently located place. I would recommend Malcolm's place highly!

AyushiJuly 2016

Higly recommended, very professional caring, good service , always meet you in ferry, room is clean comfortable and cosy . Malcolm thank you very much,

SergejApril 2016

Malc is the best kind of host; one who goes above and beyond without being asked to. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating from the start, surprising me by picking me up at the ferry terminal. His chattiness and warmth kept my short stay at the hostel interesting and pleasant. He's well-versed in the island's history and the archaeological digs in the area, and seems to be well-traveled, judging from the decor of the house. The hostel situated in a quiet neighbourhood about a 7 minute walk from the market of Kirkwall, and St. Magnus Cathedral. The room is well-lit and tidy, and the internet works very well. I can endorse the value for money. Overall, I would be very happy staying at this accommodation again, and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a friendly face in a distant land.

AnshMarch 2016

I can not fault this gentleman as a host, it is just such a pity that the establishment he runs is not of a higher standard. I was made to feel very welcome, even when I misplaced my key early one morning (about 6.45am) and had to wake him he was obliging . However I had several problems with the accommodation, when I went back for a second night the bed I was asked to sleep in had not been changed since the last occupant, and secondly was the disgusting state of the communal kitchen. Without fail every time I went into it, there was dirty plates with left-over food on them stacked around the sink, the hobs were dirty and there were filthy tea towels left lying around. Being so unhappy I moved to alternative accommodation, with a similar set up but in the communal kitchen there was a sign very clearly stating that residents after cooking must clean up after themselves, wash their pots, dry up and put away and make sure the sink area was clean for the next user. A similar notice in the kitchen at Eastbank might make a big difference to the cleanliness of the place. However knowing how unhappy I was Malcolm graciously did not charge me.

TessMay 2016

Malcolm was on there when I arrived and he had prepared for my arrival by having the heater on in my room which was very welcoming. The room was comfortable and had an ensuite bathroom. The general area of Eastbank was quite near the town centre and was fine.

SimonMay 2016

The local bus will take you from the airport to the port. From there it's about 0.6 km (0.4 mi) up the hill to the house. When I arrived the ever-cheerful Malcolm greeted me in the driveway and we hit it off straightaway. There followed five days of fun and great conversation. Although not from the area Malcolm has lived in the region for decades and is a wealth of information. The house itself is rambling with a large, fully-equipped kitchen. There is always tea and coffee available and a simple breakfast is also provided. My room was simple and aged but very spacious; a great place to come back to after a day's exploring. The ensuite shower was powerful and there was always hot water. Overall the house is looking a little tired, but it represents great value, with the chance to meet other travellers, be within easy reach of the town centre and be freed to come and go as you please.

Perfect location to explore Kirkwall and Orkney from! Kathryn was very nice, communicative and helpful in making suggestions for places to see and eat. She helped us set up bike rentals prior to our arrival which was much appreciated! Definitely recommend staying here.

Katheryn was a fantastic host from start to finish. She replied to my emails really quickly, offered us an early arrival time because she didn't have anyone staying the night before (which was hugely appreciated!) and really kindly let me use her washing machine to get after a bottle leaked on the plane. The accommodation was exactly was described and really comfy! The underfloor heating wasn't working, but the oil-filled radiators kept the apartment more than cosy. The loaf of local bread, milk, tea and coffee when we arrived provided a wonderfully welcome. Thank you ever so much :)

My experience was perfect! Kathryn was more than helpful in getting in and was ready and expecting me when I knocked at the door. Very quick to respond to any message I sent and even sending me some to check and make sure I was enjoying my experience. She also leaves cookies, coffee and other little edibles for you. A fantastic host that wasn't over bearing but showed a great deal of care in making sure you enjoyed your stay!

The house is clean, tidy and functional, in the room there is everithing you need (included TV, hairdryer and boiler). The location is great, near the bus station, from which leave all connections to the island, and from restaurants, supermarkets and banks. We are fully satisfied!

LauraAugust 2016

Unfortunately, we were not able to stay at Louise´s place (because of the ferry schedule) but the communication with her was great.

MaiJuly 2016

Louise and her husband are very nice, open and friendly people. It seems they have put a lot love in their B&B. The room had everything what we needed and was very clean and cozy. Our breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The B&B is in a great location, nearby the main road and bus station (5 min walk). We liked aur stay at Papdale and would recommend it to everyone for a nice stay in Kirkwall.

IvanaAugust 2016

We had a superb time. Louise & Steve are great hosts, very helpful, and prepared an awesome breakfast! Highly recommended!

AndréAugust 2016

This was my first ever booking and stay at an airbnb. I stayed for three nights and have to say all my worries were put to shame. The room was big, the bed comfortable, everything was clean and nice and it only took a couple of minutes to walk to the main street and the cathedral. The two best things about my stay were however the breakfast and the hosts. Louise offers several different breakfast choices and everything I tried was tastefull and well cooked. She also offers great packed lunches if you need one. Both Louise and her husband are friendly and caring people and do their best for their guests. I was even given a lift when I needed one! Next time I go to Orkney I will definetly stay with them again.

AnjaJuly 2016

Louise was an excellent host. She has a beautiful, clean well located house. The room was a great size and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was great and cooked to perfection. Cereals etc were also made available. When I come back to Kirkwall, I will stay here again. Thank you!

JasonSeptember 2016

Had a great time at Papdale Mill. Louise was extremely friendly and helpful. The house is very conveniently located. The twin room wasn't flash but was very spacious and comfortable. It wasn't an ensuite room but the bathroom was next to the room so was ok. I think the place will get better and better and I would highly recommend it.

So kind of Annie to meet us two tired cyclists & drive us up the hill in her van! A hot radox bath was very welcome & we were made to feel right at home. We had a great night's sleep in the very comfortable king size bed, and enjoyed our stay in Kirkwall. The food at Annie's mum's cafe - Judith Glue was amazing! Best of luck to Annie as she opens her knitwear shop in town.

SueMay 2016

Annie communicated with us prior to our visit to make sure she was able to settle us in. The large friendly dog was also there to greet us. We were only there briefly but were invited to share in the communal bathroom and living area. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable. We were pleased to meet Annie who was very pleasant.

Annie is a lovely and energetic host! We felt very at home and greatly enjoyed our short stay. The room is spacious and the bed huge and extremely comfortable. Annie provided us with towels and toiletries, as well as offering breakfast which was much appreciated. The property is very well located for both visiting Highland Park Distillery and exploring the centre of Kirkwall. Highly recommended!

LouiseApril 2016

Annie's place was easy to find and the room and bed were big clean and comfortable! It is an easy walk into the centre of town which is just gorgeous. Annie and Stuart treated us like friends. Blitz was beautiful

Gray and AllyJune 2016

Annie was a wonderful host. She was very welcoming and friendly, and a great source of information on things to see and do whilst on the island. The room was just as advertised and very comfortable and clean. The neighbourhood was extremely safe, quiet and only a very short walk to the centre of Kirkwall. Thank you so much for your hospitality Annie! :)

KaraJanuary 2016

Annie was a great host, super helpful and Blitz is an adorable bundle of fur! I want to return to the Orkneys, and I know where I'll be staying when I do!

FrançoisOctober 2016

I had a lovely, comfortable stay with Annie and her partner Stuart. I was very warmly welcomed and spent the first day visiting the Italian chapel and a lovely beach with Annie and her dog Blitz. I found the bedroom very spacious and the bed very comfortable. I was able to use the kitchen to prepare meals. I found Blitz to be a very sweet and well-behaved black labrador. I felt like part of the family during my 4 day stay. And a lift to and from the airport before and after my stay was very helpful.

Location for us was perfect -- just over a mile walk into town. Ate at Helgi's which was delicious and relaxing.

Excellent accommodation: presentation, furnishings and kitchen/household equipment top notch. Warm, spotlessly clean, easy parking and great location. Brilliant we could take the dogs.

Alisons flat in Kirkwall was perfect for our long weekend away. Situated right in the centre of town beside the cathedral and close to pubs/ restaurants. Lots of good leaflets etc left in flat for us to read about Orkney. And an added wee bonus, a pint of milk, which we forgot to get! Would definitely stay there again! Many thanks Lee

LeeSeptember 2016

Within easy walking distance (5 minutes maximum) to shops & restaurants in the town center of Kirkwall as well as the Cathedral, this is an apartment with a superb location. It is a spacious apartment with good windows in each room. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were very restful, and shower/bath easy to use. Two sofas in the living room provided good comfort after sight seeing. This is truly a "self-catering" apartment in that the host is not present for check-in, but all has been arranged for you to attain the keys with a coded security box. Keys are returned here upon departure. It was a good experience.

CynthiaSeptember 2016

Everything we needed was there, including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits! Very good central location with easy parking and local information. Very clean and comfortable.

AlisonAugust 2016

This is a lovely, comfortable, modern flat right in the centre of Kirkwall, quiet and with nice views of Tankerness house gardens. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, even a dishwasher. I would definitely stay again. The car parking was an added bonus.

Hegra, is a stunning house set in an ideal location on the outskirts of Kirkwall. Breathtaking views, large garden and parking areas, only a stones throw from Highland Park Distillery and Lynnfield Hotel. Town centre approx 1 mile away.

Hegra was built on what was advertised as an 'executive site', in one of Orkneys premier housing locations in the 1997's. One of its best features is the actual space it offers, inside and out. With spacious rooms, coupled with large gardens and patio areas (ideal for BBQ's in summer), Hegra is the ideal place for a family, group or individual who is looking to visit Orkney.

We will be sharing the kitchen space. The house has two living rooms, so guests can have their own space to unwind if they wish (the guest living room yet to be furnished).
Happy to interact with guests as they please

Private location, set away from the main road in a traffic calmed area. Lovely neighbours and surrounding properties.
The town centre is approximately 1 mile away.
If anyone is a whisky fan (as I am), I would happily help
arrange any tours of the Highland Park or Scapa Distilleries.
I can also try to help you with any request you may have to make your stay more enjoyable and hassle free.

I ended up ataying another night as it was a great base to explore the island from cant fault Danny and i had a lovely time he nicely put the heating on full to help me dry some clothes i had washed without me asking. I highly recommend..

BillyOctober 2016

Danny is one of the nicest people you could ever meet!!!!!! Brilliant host, fantastic house, extremely warm and welcoming. Highly recommend. What a legend.

AnnaOctober 2016

Couldn't have asked for a better host and a lovely house to stay in, Danny was great to talk to and had lots of knowledge of the island and let me try some of his lovely rare Scapa whiskey. I highly recommend staying with him to anyone, i will definitely be back for a more extensive explore of the islands in the future. Thanks again Danny :)

Tofts is located on an elevated position in Burray with fantastic views out to Hoy and Scapa Flow. There are beaches, a shop, restaurant, playpark and crazy golf all within a mile. 4 miles from St Margarets Hope and Pentland Ferries, 12 miles from Kirkwall.

Please note that the house is located amongst farmland and from time to time there may be cows in the field next to the house or tractors working in the field.

This is a very nice house in a fantastic location. We had an issue with a very strong odor in the rooms with carpets that ultimately made it impossible for us to stay there after our first night. But Hannah, who was wonderfully friendly and communicative and good to work with all the way along, told us that they'd shampoo the carpets to try to alleviate the problem. So despite that real hiccup in our experience, we'd be open to booking here again next time we go to the Orkneys.

We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hannah's. Hannah is a wonderful host! She was really prompt with replying our enquiries and went out of her way to make us feel at home. The Tofts was beyond cosy and warm. The rooms were immaculately clean as was the bathroom and kitchen (Hannah was so kind as to stock the fridge with milk). We would definitely recommend Hannah's listing to anyone looking for an excellent retreat in the Orkneys and endeavour return again.

DenyseAugust 2016

This is a lovely holiday cottage which I could only strongly suggest to anyone looking to stay at Kirkwall. Hannah (owner) couldn't do enough for us if required. Always at the end of the phone/txt if we needed her. She's a very friendly person who wanted to make our stay as easy/enjoyable as possible as working away from home can be a pain. Home away from home is what she called it and that is exactly what it was! If ever back to the island it will be the 1st place we look to book. Thanks!

Unfortunately Louise had to cancel our booking 24 hours before due to health problems. She refused to cancel the booking on air b&b, forcing us to stay at the alternative she arranged. This was cheaper and not what we would have chosen for ourselves. We only received the difference in price when we noticed and asked for it.

MartinOctober 2016

Spotlessly clean with friendly hosts who make you feel at home, in a good location, a few minutes from the main street. Room was big with plenty of storage space. Access to two shared bathrooms which can get busy at times bearing in mind the number of guests sharing them. The floor is really creaky even when light-footed, this isn't a big problem but it did make me really aware of my footsteps and who could hear them.
